Few letters excite Audi fans as much as R and S, and when they’re put together, the result is the fastest, most exclusive model in the range.

American dealerships have received a very limited number of RS4 sedans for 2007, and Audi of America has just announced that they’ll be bringing a handful of handsome RS4 Cabriolets stateside for 2008.

The open car uses the same direct-injected, 8,250 rpm-redlined 4.2-liter, 420hp V-8 engine as the sedan, as well as its exclusive six-speed manual gearbox and asymmetrical quattro all-wheel-drive system.

Massive 14.4-inch front brakes peek out from behind 19-inch split-spoke alloy wheels, and below the folding canvas top is one of Audi’s finest interiors. Act fast if you’re interested, because a mere 300 RS4 Cabriolets will be imported; pricing is yet to be announced, but it will certainly be north of the sedan’s $66,000.
